Style inspiration - Summer

With over 30°c out and actual summer less than a month away, I can't help but think of outfits to survive the heat on. Color, prints, pyjama and printed pants and skirts, sandals, flattops, flat boots, high waisted skirts, and dresses with jackets (because I refuse to show my arms no matter the temperature). Here are some of the styles I inspire to for summer.

jewelry picks

Lately I have found myself reaching for the same pieces of jewelry over and over again, So I decided to put them all up in a blog post and show them to you.
As you can see there's not much colour in my pics, I'm not one for bright or colourful jewelry, or clothes for that matter, and I love not having to match up the colour in the pieces with my clothing. I just hate when you're really loving something (say a handbag or shoes) and they don't match your outfit. Probably the reason for my almost pure black wardrobe.
The little triangle necklace is just perfect for simple tees and dresses. As it is a bit longer, it looks really great and relaxed over anything and honestly if I could only pic one piece of jewelry, it would be this necklace. The gold one is a bit shorter and perfect for shirts. I'm a big button up kinda gal, and this is perfect for under the collar (bit tricky now that the warmer months are coming). The rings are midi rings and actually came in a set of five, but I love to wear three (two in one finger and one on its own). The earrings are more of a hair-up choice. I don't really wear earrings that much, so I love that these two pairs are little and non-heavy. This look great specially with a messy bun and a bit of hair down the side of the face. The little silver earrings were a birthday gift, and I didn't start wearing them until recently. But I just love the way they peak

Hope you liked my pics!

Spring inspiration

So here's the thing, it's August 23rd and it's 27°C out. It's still a whole month to spring and we are having summer apropriate temperatures! so, I couldn't help but think of bright colours, loose fabrics, and all things spring wear. Here are just a couple of the pictures I found that made me go "yes, I want to wear THAT". What's THAT? simple: kimonos, jeans, boxy and loose shirts, high waisted stuff, long dresses, belts, flowy tops, leather-strip sandals, booties, lace, printed tees and a lotta lotta black and white (and maybe some colour, here and there).

Call me crazy, but I hate summer. I know that anyone reading this from the northern hemisphere will wish me a polar vortex, but I can't wait for winter!

How are you gearing up for the new season?

Ebay (shirt) Haul!

I love Ebay, it's just such a great way to get items you can't get on your city/country. For me it's about prices, most (well, everything) in my country it's really expensive, if I were to buy one of this shirts (that on ebay are around the $10 mark) they will cost me around $50 (not in a brand store, in just any street store).

sheer printed shirt, has a cut on the waist that gives it a lovely shape.

fitted and opaque. It's a bit longer in the back.

This one is quite sheer and loose, and the back is a lot longer than the front.

I've been buying things on ebay for some times now, mainly accesories, bags and small items, but I never deared to buy clothing because of the sizing, but I finally got the courage to try it, and I'm not dissapointed.
I chose this 3 shirts mainly because of the shape, one is quite loose and batwing shaped, one is more fitted and the other one has a cut on the waist that gives it a nice shape. Mainly it was to experiment and see what each shape looked like. My advice? check the sizing! this products are all from china and the sizes there are smaller than in other countries, if you have to choose from sizing up or down, definitely size up. (that's truly my only complaint)
The seller was really kind and he shiped the items fast and they arrived perfectly. The ebay store is moonar.store, and I definitely recommend it!


have you ever bought clothing on ebay? What's your favourite seller?
